Stop Programs from Minimizing to System Tray: Windows Taskbar Guide

AI Thread Summary
To prevent a program from minimizing to the system tray, users should check the program's settings, often found under 'properties' or 'options.' The behavior can vary based on the application, with some allowing customization, such as Windows Blinds, which lets users set windows to "roll up" on double-clicking the title bar. In Windows, minimizing typically sends programs to the taskbar, while in Ubuntu, users can enable or disable this feature without additional software. Clarification is needed on whether the goal is to stop programs from minimizing to the tray or to prevent them from loading there at startup.

How can I stop a program from minimizing to the system tray? THere's probably an easy answer to this, and yes, I googled it.

That's a custom thing, so look in the program's menus, it's probably under 'properties' or 'options' or something like that.
 
Depends on the customizing application. For instance in Windows blinds you get set the window to "roll up" when double clicking on the title bar of the window. Is Windows the operating system you're running? I know in Ubuntu (Linux) you can enable this feature without installing a customizing app.
 
Can you clearify what exactly you mean? Are you saying when you minimize a program it goes to the taskbar in the bottom right? Are you trying to stop programs from loading there at startup?
 

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
